FRANK BRELLE, SR1, or SAN JOSE, CALIFORNIA.

To all whom it may l-muiwljn Be itknown that I, FRANK Bu'nnnn, S12, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of San Jose, in the countyoi Santa 5 Clara and State of California, have. invented certain new and" useful Improveanents in Gas-Heated Radiators, of which the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in gas heated radiators, and the objects of my invention are, first, to produce a radiator that can be heated by gas supplied through any burner suitable. x A further object of my invention is to provide a gas heated radiator of simple and durable construction, capable of being used in connection with air and steam inlets, without the necessity of disturbing the valvular arrangementof the gas burner or in any manner altering or changing the construction thereof. v

A still further object ofthe invention is generally to improve this class of radiators so as to increase their utility, durability. and eiiiciency: i

Further objects and advantages will appear in the following description, it being understood that various changes inform, proportions and minor details ofconstrucigure 1 is a side view of my gas heated radiator, completely .assembled. Fig. 2 is' a view of an end plate. Fig. 3 is a sectional view of the radiator, assembled. Fig. 4 is a sectional view on line A-A of Fig. 1. Fig. 5 is a detail plan view of the under side of a portion of a radiator pipe 3, showing slots in dotted lines ina longitudinal plate therein. Fig. 6 is a. section on line C0 of Fig. 1.

Corresponding and like parts are referred to in the following description and indicated in all the views of "the drawing by the same reference characters. j

My improved gas heated radiator forming the subject matter of the .present invention, comprises end supporting plates 1. These plates may be made of cast iron, or any other Suitable metal, or they may be pressed out of sheet steel, or any other sheet metal desired, or from any other material suitable,

receive radiator pipes 333 3.

.tion may be resorted to within, the scope of GAS-HEATED RADIATOR.

Specification of Letters Patent. Patented BIar, 14, 1916, Application filed November 16, i915. Serial No. 61,854.

and have inward flanged holes 2, adaptedto The outer flanges 2 are for strength and support around said pipes when inserted in said endsupporting plates 1, said plates 1 havpipesup a distance from the floor, for the pinose of cleaning thereunder. Said radiator pipes are placed in flanged holes 9., in the end plates, and are held in place by bolts (aps (i are shown covering the ends of said radiator pipes. Said caps 6 are an integral part of end supporting plates 1, and are adapted to cover and connect the openings of said pipes, one with the other, allowing the burnt gases to pass upward throu h the radiator pipes, assho-wn by arrows and out through condensing chamber 7 to chim ney connection 8. ()n the under side of radiator pipe 3 is shown an air draft damper 9this damper is manually operated and is adapted to regulate the supply of air required at this point. of radiator pipe 3* is shown an air damper mg legs 4 adapted to raise said radiator On the underside 10, which is for the purpose of regulating the amount'of air required at this point. On

the underside of radiator pipe 8) is shown an air damper 11, the'same being for the purpose of regulating the amount of air required at this point. These airdraft dampers 91011, are very important factors in my invention, as they supply the air at the required places, and of the required amount to produce a perfect combustion.

In radiator pipes 33 3", are shown plates 12. These plates extend longitudi-' nally therethrough, and are fastened there-- in as shown in Fig. 6, and have a plurality of air slots 13 cut therein for the purpose of allowing the air to pass upward therethrough, as shown by arrow points 14, for a more perfect distribution of air through said radiator pipes, 'mingling with the burning gas and steam injected therein.

' Radiator pipe 3 is an open pipe leading from cap 6 to condensing chamber 7, said chamber 7 being fastened to supporting water reservoir 15 and connected therewith,

burner 22 is shown connecting with radiator pipe 3 by cap 23,said cap being fastened to pipe 3 in any suitable mannerat the end thereof, said cap 23 having a plurality of air holes 21 therein for the purpose of ads initting air to gas burner 22. A steam pipe is shown at 25 connecting with boiler 19, and

gas burner 22, for the purpose of admitting steam to gas burner 22 from boiler 19. Said boiler 19 is fastened to the top of radiator pipe 3 near gas burner 22, as the greatest amount of heat is generated from gas burner 22 at this point, thereby producing the required amount of heat to produce the amount of steam required to burner 22 for a more perfect combustion.

, .The operation of my gas heated radiator is aswfollow's: i/Vater is placed in reservoir 15 through opening 16 in condensing chamber 7, and is carried down through pipe 17, and coil 21 to boiler 19, where the same is converted into steam and delivered to burner 22 through pipe 25. Gas'is admitted through burner 22, and ignited'through air holes 2%, the same coming in contact with the steam from boiler 19, andair from holes 21 and dampers 910l1,' distributed through air slots 13 in plates 12, and producing an intense heat, governed only by the gas and steam admitted through gas burner 22. The water supply to boiler 19 is governed by valve 18, and is seen through glass sight feed 20. By the manipulation of valve 18, and valve connected to burner 22, not shown, any degree of heat required mav be obtained.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1, In a gas heated radiator of the character described, having end supporting plates, 1

radiator pipes supported by said plates, said plates having inward flanged holes adapted to receive the ends of said radiator. pipes, means by which said radiator pipes condensing chamber, said radiator pipes having air dampers on theunder side thereof and adapted to admit fair to said radia tor pipes, a water boiler positioned ion one of said radiator pipes and adapted to produce steam, for the purpose of creating a greater draft through said radiator pipes, a gas burner connected with oneof said radiator pipes, and a steam pipe leadingfrom said waterboiler and connecting with said gas burner,- as and. for the purpose tie-- scribed.

2. Ina gas heated radiatorrof the character described, the combination of end supporting plates, radiator pipes supported by said plates, means by which said supporting .80 i together, a'ir dampers in said radiator pipes,

plates and saidradiator "pipes are fastene and longitudinal plates .in said radiator pipe:-:. having a plurality of air slots cut. therein, a condensing'chamber, a chimney connection leading from said condensing chamber, a water reservoir, and. means for filling the same, a boiler attached to OHevOf' said radiator pipes. and means by which said boiler is supplied with-water, a, gas

burner and means by which said human is supplied with steam from sai-d zboilera means by which a back pressure of. steam i is prevented from. returning to said :water reservoir from said iboiler,'nieans by which said gasburner is fastened to said radiator pipes, and means by which air is admittedt'o sa d radiator pipes, as shown and described.

In testimony whereof I hereby affix my signature in the presence of two subscribing witnesses.
